I went with my husband and this was our second cruise and by far the WORST one ever and that's saying a lot the first one we went on a huge tropical storm went through so it was bad seas and we even had to skip a port. However the itinerary for this cruise was amazing. When we boarded the ship there was still trash, food and cups still left laying around from the guest who had just gotten off the ship. Through the entire cruise food was just left laying around on the top decks for hours and cups and bottles just rolling around all over on the back upper deck. There was food and trash left in the elevators for a few hours before someone came around and picked it up.

The food in the Dinning Rood was amazing. However the food from the buffet line was awful. The food was cold most of the time and if you were allergic to seafood like myself or you just do not like it then you were pretty much stuck eating one or two different things and that was it. It was great that the deli where you can get hot and cold sandwiches was open from 11am to 11pm but was very disappointed that the grill where they serve hamburgers, hotdogs, fries, and chicken would close around 2:30 everyday. Also the burrito station would close around 2:30 as well. However on ports day everything would stay open an extra hour. There are so was a stir fry line which would also close what most people considered to early. They only had 3 types of sauce to use and NO soy sauce so that too was disappointing for lots of people as i listened to conversations.

Our stateroom was amazing there is really nothing bad that I could say about it. We had an ocean view which was wonderful to have. Everyday our room was cleaned and bed was remade even though my husband and I always make our bed up before we left the room and at night our bed would be turned down with a couple mints the flyer for what was going on the next day on the ship and the port we would be at. There would also be a towel animal and if you have never seen one they are great I love them so much. Has to be the one thing I really look forward to every carnival cruise I go on. Even the things left out on the desk or bathroom was never touch or moved they just cleaned around everything. However I did notice the floor was not vacuumed while we were there or not vacuumed very well.
